Medea and Other Plays by Euripides
Features four tragedies, all of which focus on a central character, once powerful, brought down by betrayal, jealousy, guilt and hatred.
Euripides was an Athenian born in 484BC. A member of a family of considerable rank, he disliked performing the public duties expected of him, preferring a life of introspection. He was not a popular figure, and at some point (and for a reason unknown) he went into voluntary exile at the court of Archelaus, King of Macedon. He died c.407BC and is thought to have written around ninety-two plays, of which seventeen survive.
